Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs (Kipper) coin from the City of Göttingen (German States) made of Copper weighing 0.6 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was marked by a severe economic crisis caused by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the economy and coinage of many German states, including the City of Göttingen. Despite the challenges of this time period, the Kipper coins remained a widely used and trusted form of currency, and their durability and longevity are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the mint workers who produced them.
